The day day or the hour is not known.. but we must keep watch and I believe the end is near but how near.. yes could be ten or 100 though I would lean to within 10... the important thing is to be ready and never delay it in our heart for anything here on earth..
Example...
Lord don't come this week because I'm going on vacation or anything else ... or even.. not today Lord I'm watching the super bowl for those abiding over the pond ...
We have to be patient.. our hope and homesickness can make us eager for something that is going to be terrible here on earth before He returns.
There is no such thing as a post tribulation rapture....Rapture is a catching up of the bride..We leave the planet altogether...Post trib, there is a gathering together of believers, some of whom have missed the rapture, and nobody leaves the Earth. Those that missed the rapture have gone through the hellish seven years at that point.
The Amil seems to work for the best for me today. It was popular at the fifthteenth century reformation. The thousand is not a literal number used in those parables. It signifies a unknown as to whatever is in veiw, time senitive or not.Christ will come on the last day, the day of the Lord, like a theif in the night The new earth with no Sea or Sun as a time keeper appears... it is the end of this corrutped world as we know it. We walk by faith as those who do not require a sign before they will believe. Christ said no sign will be given, again we walk by faith as those who have not received the promise of our new incorutptible bodies.

And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. Heb 11:40

Amillennialism is essentially UNBELIEF. A rejection of the Bible truth that the Lord Jesus Christ will literally establish the Kingdom of God on earth and reign for one thousand years with His saints. A Millennium = 1,000 years (Greek chilia ete) and that term occurs in Revelation 20 six times in seven verses. So "Amil" is shorthand for "Amillennialist".
Amillennialists believe -- without any proof whatsoever -- that we are already in the Millennium, even though Satan walks about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. According to Scripture, however, Satan is bound during those thousand years, while Christ rules this earth with a "rod of iron", which means that there will be universal righteousness, peace and prosperity during that time. Since this is after the battle of Armageddon, all of Christ's enemies have already been destroyed.

I agree, no sign will be given,
but gd uses prophesy to prove his god, his own decree is when he says it will happen, it happens exactly like he wait it will that way no on can question,
1000 yeas is 1000 years, or lose God tri d to deceive us, and we can not use that prophesy to prove is is any better than Nostradamus,
So if you are able to accept the premise that God is operating on a 7 day week, not only for creation, but for creation time to play out. And you further accept the premise, mentioned twice in Scripture, that a day is like a thousand yrs to the Lord, and that we have had approximately 6000 yrs of recorded human history, then it stands to reason the "last days" are a reference to Thursday and Friday.
Try reading the passages dealing with "the last days" with that premise in mind.
Obviously not saying this is established doctrine, but it clears up some confusing passages for me, like Hosea 6.
[h=1]Hosea 6New King James Version (NKJV)[/h][h=3]A Call to Repentance[/h][FONT="][FONT="]6 Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
2 After two days He will revive us;
On the third day He will raise us up,
That we may live in His sight.
3 Let us know,
Let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain,
Like the latter and former rain to the earth.
Speaking about Israel here. After 2 days (2000 yrs.) He will revive them.
On the 3rd day (1000 yr Reign of Christ on Earth) they will live in His Presence.
I know, I know. A lot of premises to accept. No worries! We're all gonna see if it happens. [/FONT]
